A front desk that’s there when you can’t be.

Calls you’d be losing right now.

Three businesses, three missed calls, three saves. Adapted from real pilot transcripts.

Plumbing

Harbor Plumbing

Tuesday, 7:14 AM. Brendan was on a tankless install when a kitchen-leak call came in.

Alex answered, got Jamie’s address, confirmed it was urgent, and texted Brendan the dispatch summary inside 90 seconds.

$1,400 emergency job saved from voicemail.

Restaurant

Ovid Diner

Friday, 6:42 PM, dinner rush. A regular calling to add four guests to her 8 o’clock party kept getting voicemail.

Alex confirmed the party size update, checked the floor sheet for the right table swap, and pinged the host with the new headcount.

Party of 12 kept instead of walking to the place down the block.

Salon

Mae’s Cuts

Mid-color, mid-Saturday. Three calls hit voicemail in twenty minutes — one was a $260 balayage rebook.

Alex offered three open slots from the booking system, locked the closest one, and texted the client a confirmation with parking directions.

$260 rebook captured without breaking stride at the chair.

How it works

01Teach the desk

Hours, services, FAQs, offers, and routing rules go in once. We mirror your voice and your guardrails.

02Answer the call

Alex opens with a plain AI disclosure, identifies intent, asks one thing at a time, and never freelances.

03Send the next step

Transfer, take a message, book directly, or text a summary — whichever you’ve told the desk to do for that intent.

Common questions

What owners ask first.

Still on the fence? Call (864) 734-3158 and hear it yourself.

How fast can I be live?

Most businesses are answering calls within a few business days of completing the intake form. We confirm hours, services, FAQs, and routing with you before flipping the agent on.

Will callers know it’s AI?

Yes. Every call opens with a clear AI disclosure. Callers can ask for a human at any point and the agent will hand off or take a message.

What if the call is complicated?

The agent transfers hot leads to your number, or captures the details and routes a follow-up task with a call summary — your choice per call type.

Can I change what it says?

Yes. Monthly tuning is included. Same-day edits are available for hours, prices, offers, and routing rules.

What hours does it cover?

24/7 by default. You decide which call types transfer live, which go to messages, and which book directly.

What if I cancel?

No long-term contract. Cancel any month with 7 days notice. Setup work and call data stay yours.
